GroupJive 1.8 Released!

Where can I find links to somewhere that explains what groupjive is and what it is used for. I think I've tried the obvious places, but maybe I obviously haven't.

Our forge is the best resource, but believe groupjive.org is still active if you wish to review any content there (albeit I believe outdated content). GroupJive simply put allows creation of groups. Such as groups on Facebook, MySpace, etc...

Is it safe to just install this over an older, existing groupjive 1.8 installation? I did it on a test site which is a clone of my live site and it blew away all the previously made groups, members, etc.

Thanks for any info,

Yes, it uses the same database, but you should always create a back-up just encase. Best approach is an "expert" type installation such as copy/paste/replace.

Are they Language packs or files (Translations) for GJ 1.8? Can someone tell me if there is a french and Portuguese translation available and where to download them from?. I have googled the web and I coulndn't find any.

The database is unchanged in GJ 1.8, so they will all probably still work.

GJ 1.8 is not very supportive of muli-lingual usage. GJ 2.0 will have full translatability. Am not aware of any available language plugins or files at this time, sorry.
